In this configuration, the power controls in the locomotive have control over the engine so the lead unit will not be able to operate it remotely. However, if the engine is running and you just want it to sit in idle, then setting them to ON means they will ignore all signals from the lead locomotive and remain in idle. Note: If the locomotive engine is not started then the first three switches are not important. In this instance, set the control stand up as follows: This is useful if you are towing a completely cold and dark locomotive. When setting up the locomotive in a non-lead position you have several options depending on which role you want it to play in the consist: These three valves control whether the brake handles operate the brakes on the train: These three switches enable the power controllers (e.g. The key settings to be aware of, should you need to change a locomotive from trailing back to lead are as shown below. The start-up instructions will set the locomotive up to be suitable for leading a consist or being the sole locomotive in a consist. Once the locomotives are operational then you can set them up for Multiple Unit working. Now the locomotive has been started, you can now drive the locomotive.Įnsure the locomotives have been fully set up as per the locomotive start-up instructions if required. Move the throttle back to notch 0 and release the handbrake. Then release the automatic brake and wait for the equalising reservoir pressure andn the main reservoir to reach 90psi. Then check the independent brake is set to the maximum setting. Keeping the reverser in the neutral position, set the throttle to notch 1 and wait for the main reservoir to reach 140psi. Then set the MU-2A valve to the Lead or Dead position. Then turn the Cut-off valve to the Freight position. Then set the headlights, which is located in the bottom right of the console, to the bright position. Turn the ditch lights and gauge lights which are located to the left of the dynamic brake to the on position.
These switches are located in the top right of the control console shown in the image to the left.

Sit in the engineer's seat and set the Engine Run, Field Generator and Control & Fuel Pump to the on position. Then return to the cab and set the start-run switch to the Run position. After the engine has started, close the engine room doors. Then move it to the right to start the engine. This switch is located in the centre right of the engine room. Hold the Prime/Start switch to the left position for 5 seconds. The engine room will appear as shown in the image to the right. Then open the engine room doors on the long hood. Then set the start-run switch located above the fuse box on the panel shown in the left image. Then check that the main breaker and all of the fuses are set to the on position. Secondly, open the fuse box, which is located behind the driver's seat and is shown in the second image. In the GP40-2 and GP38-2 it is a handle like in the image whereas in the SD40-2 it is a wheel. Firstly, apply the hanbrake which is shown in the image to the right. This section of the tutorial covers a cold start of the locomotives. The dynamic brake may also be used to slow the locomotive down. Be careful not to apply the automatic brake beyond the 'full service' position. To stop the locomotive, move the throttle into the idle position and then apply the automatic brake. Then move the throttle, which is located above the reverser into the notch 1 position. The reverser is the small handle in the bottom right of the image, move this into either the forward or reverse position. Secondly move the automatic brake, the red handle above the independent brake into the release position. This is how the locomotive starts in services and some scenarios.įirstly, move the independent brake to the release position, the independent brake is the black handle in the bottom left of the image.
This section of the tutorial covers driving the locomotive when it has already been started.
